Discussion...
The storm system is not changed from what was shown last night. It remains tilted at around a neutral angle, not showing any defined positive or negative tilt at the time.
Water vapor imagery suggests a dry slot is attempting to fill in and cut off some precipitation in West Kansas and west Nebraska. Main bulk of moisture in the air is now moving along a trough extending from the system itself, which is now in Oklahoma, into Kansas, far north Missouri and Central Illinois.
I think the dry slot will be enhanced soon enough as additional air is drawn north from the Gulf of Mexico. The dry slot will definitely hamper precipitation amounts that may have fallen otherwise.
Surface temperatures indicate that West Nebraska and Colorado are set to begin receiving snow. Radar imagery shows that snow is indeed falling in western Nebraska. Radar also detects that some thundersnow may be possible near North Platte, NE.
Totals...
Up to 18 inches of snow still looks possible per the latest RUC model run on the NE/CO border, particularly in the region of Nebraska that eventually becomes the Panhandle of NE.
Next Update: 3:45 PM CST
